Jean Lopardo, MT-BC
Jean Lopardo earned a Bachelor of Music Degree at Marywood College (1987) followed by an internship at the Matheny School for children with developmental disabilities. Since then, she has worked with a variety of children and adults as a music therapist and music teacher. She is currently running music enrichment programs at a number of preschools and daycare centers in and around the Philadelphia area. In these programs, she provides the children with opportunities to explore music through singing, instrument play, movement activities, and music listening while helping children foster and develop important social and emotional skills. In addition to working with children, Jean also spends time conducting music therapy sessions at group homes for adults with severe developmental disabilities. Jean has a way of getting these clients to actively participate in music in the smallest ways, whether it is through vocalizations, a strum on the guitar, an eye blink, or just a smile. Jean also has the opportunity to provide her services at Adult day care centers and Assisted Living Facilities. During these sessions, she usually will pick a theme and center the songs she sings around that theme (holidays, news items, etc.) The residents will often perk up when they hear an old familiar tune and many will join in the singing if they are able.
